i just got a new car (for me) 1996 integra rs, pretty nice car and new to integra world since i was a civic/crx guy for a very long time. anyway i was wondering what factory honda/acura lips can i put on my car to make it look better? does the stock integra lip exist at all?

 

yes. i've seen a lot of Integra Type-R lips on integras

 

what abt the black lip for the 94-98 integra if i am not mistakin..

 

the only oem lips that work for the 94-97 integra front bumpers are the 97 Type R front lip or the jdm si-vtec front lip. Comptech, jdmshit, and a few other companies have made a replica 97 itr front lip. I have the 97 itr comptech lip on my car:


jdmshit also sells the si-vtec lip:


Just be sure to stay away from cheap flimsy abs plastic and fiberglass lips. They'll crack with the quickness! Look for polyurethane lips since they can bend, flex, etc but won't crack

 

yeah that what i was looking for, the si-vtec lips if that what it called. i just lost my plastic lip due to the damn animal running across the street and trashed my lip yesterday. lol. it was a mugen style.

 

there are many different lips to put on, ITR, CTR, mugen, vizage, WW

 

i just want to look nice and stockish looking...

sure there are other lips that'll fit but most are abs plastic and fits/looks like ***. The OP was asking for factory honda/acura lips, so with that said...the 98+ itr lip and ctr lip will not fit unless you modify the hell out of them.

all of the ones i listed can be had in urethane actually and if bought from a reputable company will fit flawlessly

edit: and we were referring to the 97 spec lip

 

iH8Ricerz is correct, but have to add one thing. ABS lips, are good so long as you get a decent replica. Polyurethane is the same concept though. There are good, and there are crappy replicas. The only negative about abs is that it doesn't flex, the only negative about poly is that it does flex. Why do I say this, becuase if you slam your front end with abs, it will most likely crack depending on the spot..with poly, it can flex under normal conditions causing premature wear to the paint, which is why you must stress to your bodyman to use a flexible primer on it. Either way you will luck out, but I think the 97 style ITR lip suits the 94-97 fronts perfect.

 

Not to threadjack but what rims are those? they're fckin sexy.

(REALLY CLEAN CAR BTW)

16" WORK RSZR's...and thanks

and the main reason why I said to avoid abs plastic lips is because I was watching a guy with his car that was low but not slammed, drive through a parking lot at the gas station. He didn't see a dip so he hit it hard, and the lip hit the ground and shattered in 4 pieces. As soon as I saw that, I told my self I would never get an abs lip. I've ran into curbs, driven off curbs and hit some major dips with lip....hasn't cracked at all. Sure, under major flexing, the paint will show cracking....but i'd rather have a lip with paint cracks at the end of the day rather than having only a small piece of my lip left. eh, just my .02

 

umm i wonder where can i find a good 97 itr lip at. ebay but ehh

OEM 97 ITR lips are very hard to find. I recently just sold one that I had. Not sure about the quality of the ebay lips, but I've heard good things about the jdmshit lip. I would recommend comptech, but the company just closed

 

its gonna be hard to find any really good 94-97 ITR lip anymore. oem is harder than **** to find and ridiculously expensive and comptech closed up shop. good thing i got one before it did

 

type r lips

 

damn or just save my money for a dc2 jdm front end conversion but that wont happen until prolly like next year or so

 

You can always convert to the 98+ front end and get a Type R lip for it. IMO, its the best lookin front bumper you can put on an Integra. And its stock..... Im plannin on doin that to mine if I can find a well priced 98+ front bumper. Oh, you have to change out the headlights too for the conversion. I've heard that you need to change the fenders too or you'll have a gap. I dont know for sure though. Good luck on your decision.

But dude, then you can make a sweet jay-dee-ehm necklace out of the abs pieces you pick up off the road. LOL To me, the replicas are cheap to begin with, and I paint myself so I dont have to worry about the money into that, so maybe thats why I go with ABS for the rigidity. Under other circumstances, I see your standpoint. Roads here aren't too bad...but your from Cali. We ENVY your roads. Lucky! [napolean voice] lol

 

If you could find an authentic one or a WW replica, I would go with Mugen. Imo, it's only slightly better than a oem itr for a 94-97 front

 

do i really have to change my fenders if i do a itr front bumper ?

 

damn that ww lip look good!

From the massive amounts of pictures and video I seen taken in Cali, it may suck to you being a resident, but compared to ours here...you are lucky with what you have. Very lucky.

 

if got a few extra bucks buy the 98-01 front bumper and the type RS front lip. its so sexy and so is the newer front bumpers opposed to the 94-97
